Utility of Quadratus Lumborum Blocks in Patients Who Undergo Liver Transplant: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Patients who underwent liver transplantation had similar postoperative opioid use whether or not they received a quadratus lumborum block. Yet, when evaluating additional factors, such as extubation, pain scores were lower in patients who received a quadratus lumborum block. This important finding supports the idea that quadratus lumborum blocks may be a safe and valuable technique for controlling postoperative pain in adult patients who undergo liver transplantation.
